Angus is a fiesty little bastard, so take a Think Sink, a foolish little Right Wing American southerner. Perfect prey for any kind of taunts about US democracy, but you cannot use your gun over the internet buddy.
Definition of democracy - for the Americans who are not sure.
Here's a bit of what Angus Diesel-Fumes had to say - read the rest here
I've heard one after another whiny americans asking 'why would anyone hate?' (and those few that realise there are nations and governments outside america) 'Why won't the U.N. do what we want?' It's not exactly, that the rest of the world blindly hates america. It's just we don't trust you. Between faking evidence to justify war (try Vietnam, according to CIA reports, america fired on it's own ships, to pretend that it was Vienam.), and using any pretense necessary, AMERICA HAS BEEN IN 1 WAR EVERY 3 YEARS (on average) SINCE THE SECOND WORLD WAR. Every war, there's some great reason, which invarable turns-out to be fiction, or a misdirected over reaction. It all boils down to the fact that AMERICA RELIES ON WAR TO SUSTAIN IT'S WAY OF LIFE.

if you read this definition of democracy, there is no such ting in the world.
"Angus is a fiesty little bastard"...
That would be 'fiesty BIG bastard' to you, Jimmy Jack
...And, with regard to Democracy and 'there being no such thing in the world'. I'd have to agree with you SS. There is the occasional opportunity to exercise elements of 'true democracy', such as referendum. There is also the perception that elections are defacto referendum on the 'issues of the day', it is this context that 'compulsory voting' is important, as it increases the likelihood of an accurate reflection of the 'people's will'.
The only downside is that while the nation may get it's choice in an election, it usually only has two; very similar, options to choose from, a hollow victory. It reminds me of the old expression 'If voting changed anything, they make it illegal'.
